Mixed Media Card - Flower Burst

Hi all,
Sharing a quick super shabby chic card that I made for a dear friend today. One of my first tries in mixed media using very few basic supplies. Here is the card first!

FOr the base I have taken a pearly CS with intricate pattern on it. I mounted a kraft CS offset diagonally on it after a bit of distressign and tearing the edges to give a vintagy work look. I brushed the edge with chalk inks. Next I cut out another edge piece of kraft CS and gave it a torn look.

On a white CS, I blended mustard seed, picked raspberry DIs and sadded homemade textture paste very slightly on the edges and base for texture (I was not sure how it would stay so used cautiously). Added random stamping of handmade hexagon stamps.

Next I took a birdcage mdf and blotched it using silver paints to give a old rusty look.
Mounted the mdf onto the CS and added a variety of roses and flowers, feathers and beads. Added this to the Kraft CS base and embellished the Kraft corner piece on top.

For the inside I just added couple of layered diecuts, one is a tag die cut and other one is a scalloped circle. The sentiment is going to be handwritten so it is not covered in the photographs.

Entering it to the below challenges.

Shabby Chic Altered Tin Can

Shabby Chic Altered Tin Can:

Hi all,
I am sharing another uber cute upcycle project today. I really hate throwing away those "of-great-use" tin cans that watches comes in. I usually use it to store some beads/stationery.
I wanted to give it a real nice face lift and make it super cute as a desk accessory.

Altered Shabby Chic style tin can

I recently purchased some amazing pattern paper packs , laces and flowers from charming Neha from CraftBuzz. I wanted to put them to good use in this project. So I first took a pretty in pink sheet from the pack and covered the outside as well the insides.
This pack from Eno Greetings comes with co ordinating die cuts and borders. So I added a scalloped border and lace trims on the top and bottom edges. I lined the inner edge as well.
I dyed some ribbon using picked raspberry Distress inks and added a trim and a bow to the bottom.

Then I created a shabby lace flower with adorned it with bright yellow flowers. It is start of spring afterall. So let it be springy and refreshing!!

The total effect is so shabby - so chic - yet refreshing :)

Shabby Chic Photo Album

Hi all,

Here is my first try of a photo album in Shabby Chic style. I recycled some packaging boxes to form the main layout and covered it up using some really pretty pattern papers. For the from of the cover I added some really beautiful colors in shades of pastel pink, white and orange. Some laces, OFC what is shabby chic without some lace on it and some die cuts.
